Therefore, the judgment of the court below which found the Defendant guilty of the facts charged of this case is erroneous in the misapprehension of legal principles, which affected the conclusion of the judgment.
2) The sentence sentenced by the lower court (ten months of imprisonment and two years of suspended sentence) is too unreasonable.
B. Defendant B’s punishment (the penalty amounting to KRW 10 million) sentenced by the lower court is too unreasonable.
